Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two
children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious
reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for
the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through
someone else's eyes.

Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled
the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization
that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby
- Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects
are her family and her travels.

Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people,
about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most
difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately
desires (in her humble opinion).

After a brutal and potentially fatal assault, Mia Tandy finds herself alone and abandoned by not only her true love Nicholas—but possibly the one who truly loves her, Dr. Xavier Young.

In an attempt to help her get her life together, her brother, Peter, and a silent partner set up a small café just for Mia … something she’s always dreamt of.Possibly giving her a new lease on life.

On the other side of town, Nicholas’ father, Reynold, has plans of his own, trying to uncover a long lost secret that’s about to turn, not only his own world around, but causing a rippling effect that will touch Mia and his son Nicholas.

Mia, trying to stay away from the likes of that wealthy world and the negatives that come with it, once again has it all thrown right back in her path when Nicholas returns and the secrets that have been in the past are now in full view, confronting them all.

For both Nicholas and Mia, trying to keep away from each other is proving to be their biggest challenge yet.Once again, obstacles and social status are keeping them apart, but their love for each other is growing day by day.

Will their love be enough to get them through the torment, the lies and the challenges?

Not to stray from the common Author cliché, I loved to read as a child – I actually excelled in reading from a young age.This was definitely to my advantage.In saying that I only enjoyed reading “happily ever after stories.”

As I grew older my pleasures turned to “teen romance stories” with the obvious transition being heavy love stories and of course Jackie Collins’ novels.

Then due to relationship and work commitments my reading all but ceased until my children were at an age where I could steal and hour or two (which then became an hour or four).

A few years ago I discovered the Twilight Saga, this kept my thoroughly entertained for years as I read and re-read numerous times… Enter 50 Shades.I think the fact that these books were written by amateur writers stirred something inside of me.

A few years ago my dear mother passed away, I became really lost —books became my saviour.They took me to a very special place … away from reality.One night I had this dream, it was so vivid in my mind that when I awoke it was fresh and alive.It just kept growing and growing and that’s when Majestic Pearls was born.I've not looked back since.

Music is my passion, I love it! Though it needs to be genre’s from the fifties through to the eighties.Everything I do is done to music from my writing through to my housework—it soothes my soul.

I also have full time duties with my husband (fourth child) and our family business and three sons which all keeps me on my toes, there’s never a dull moment around my house.

Living in the beautiful Melbourne Australia, we have an abundance of restaurants and café’s which is my other passion … coffee dates with my wild and wacky high school friends … after thirty plus years we still catch up regularly and have a wild time.All of these people and my large family form my circle … a circle that I love and are thankful to have.

I am a dreamer. I've always been a dreamer. Some may not have worked out
the way I hoped they would, but I also believe that everything happens for a
reason.

Writing has changed my entire life. It brings happiness and fulfillment
to areas in my life that I didn't even know I was missing. It's also one of the
hardest jobs I've ever done. It takes me away from my family, friends, and the
little day-to-day tasks that once upon a time seemed normal. Sometimes I like
to revisit my portfolio of old short stories, poems, and the inspirational
quotes I have kept for many years. Reading through it all shows how far I've
come and that the journey I am on now is exactly what I dreamed of many years
ago. This makes me smile.

A long time ago, I used to write short stories and poems in journals and
kept them privately to myself. It took quite some time and many sacrifices, but
now I have four published books and have my very own writing cave. What
the heck is that? Well, it's my second home where I laugh, dream, imagine, and
write my heart out to hopefully produce something that will make other people
smile.

I call New Jersey home where I share my life with my husband, Henry, and
our three sons.

Life is an incredible journey.

We are all an open book. Every day is a new chapter to write in our
story. Lessons are to be learned and shared.
